The Importance of Being Lauren

I read Flipped a couple years ago, and while I loved it I did not fully appreciate it. I've had it for a few days now and I've read it cover to cover, and then went back to read it from the middle where everything starts changing. This book is well written, witty, funny, and it makes you understand what the characters are feeling/going through. All in all I think it's is one of the most amazing books ever!!!!! I have to admit that I wanted a better ending, or a sequel but sadly there is nothing after the last line that reads: "Maybe it's time to meet him in the proper light." *sob* *sniffle* Anyway I highly recommended this book to you guys!

Recently I had the pleasure of reading this wonderful "coming of age" book....... The Gospel According to Larry. Truthfully one of the only reason I even looked at this book is because of the cover. Hey , I didn't judge it until I actually read it......... This book made me: Cry buckets, scream in frustration, laugh out loud many times, and feel sad for the main character Josh aka. Larry. This is Josh's story about how his life completely crumbles after make in the hit website.... TheGospelAccordingtoLarry.com . He created this website to show the world how he saw things through his "Sermons". They were mostly about anti-consumerism. I didn't actually agree with all the things that he wrote, but I'm a sucker for books like this..... * You may not want to read this book if you: Cry easily, or if you can't stand preachy books. For everyone else I think you might like it......*

This summer I've decided to educate my taste in books. I have already finished Romeo and Juliet, started Hamlet, and tried starting Wuthering Heights . Romeo and Juliet was pretty good, I thought it was kind of silly though, Hamlet is really hard to get into and even as I write I have an ever growing late-fee on it at the library, and Wuthering Heights ......um...Alright I'll confess I couldn't get into it because I was just reading it to say that I read it. *I finally made it to page four yesterday! Isn't that amazing?*

I have just finished reading Scrambled Eggs at Midnight at midnight on Friday. I decided to read it after Cameo recommended it a couple months ago. Yes, I know it took a while but it was completely worth the wait. I wasn't enthusiastic about reading it at first, but as soon as I read the first line where she says,“My mother is a wench. It says so on her w-2″ I knew I was going to love it. Sure enough I "ate" it up, and it was really good. Thank you for recommending this book to me Cameo, and to all of you that haven't read this book you should! *Especially those of you who are hungry for a good book.*

I have just finished reading a fantabulous book entitled The 13th Reality by James Dashner. My mom totally surpised me and my siblings by making an un-announced stop at Barnes&Noble bookstore last Wednesday. I wasn't sure what book she was getting but then I remembered, "Oh yeah...That book she told me about a couple months ago. What was it called again?" Sadly, my feeble mind just couldn't remember. As soon as we paid and the book was nestled into my grubby, little hands, I started reading, and before I knew it, I was hooked. I couldn't believe how good The 13th Reality was. I had a hard time tearing myself away from the book for even a second. Of course I kind of have a life so I had to occasionally...........at least for potty breaks. Anyway, I absolutely loved The 13th Reality, and if I was a critic I would give it 5 stars. If I had 5 thumbs, I'd also give it a 5-thumb salute! It was one of the best books I've ever read. Yes, that's right I d...
